Resolutions

I've been thinking about this list since mid-December. It's like when I was back in school (before I started skipping classes and dropping out) and I had to have full and correct answers with supporting evidence. I am so sad and can't shake being a goody two-shoes sometimes :)

I've loved this year that I've had with my son. He's a happy, playful little boy. He's learning so much every single day. I know it will be hard for me to leave him, but...

I resolve to finish updating my CV and start looking for work. In order to do this, I will have to wake up before Elliot (who usually sleeps in until 9:30, how incredibly lucky am I?) I will have to be more organised, and I might just have to...

Get over my fears and start driving on my own.Ages ago I went to the doctor who told me that I was officially overweight. This scares me. When my father was visiting in December, he was so overweight, he had to stop every few minutes to catch his breath. He'd get winded and dizzy and need to sit down. I fear that he won't be alive for very much longer even though he is only 59 years old. I don't want to miss anytime with my own son if I can help it. Bring on the rabbit food, because...

I resolve to lose 15 pounds. Though I've mentioned her before, I've only written once about my mother on this blog. This is an issue that is weighing me down, and I need to talk through it some more, get a different perspective. Otherwise my relationship with my mother will end up suffocating me.

I will be less private and open up more about what is bothering me, especially to those who I care about and who care about me. And because it can't all be work, work, work, I have a ton of books that I own that I've always intended to read, and never have, my last resolution is to read more books (from this collection). Also, I made a yule log over Christmas. It came out terribly. I also resolve to be less critical of myself and carry on with my baking, even though I've had a few disasters.
